SERVICE AGENCY OR THE GAS SUPPLIER.

1. Install or locate the oven only in

recommended that the oven be
installed by a qualified installer.
The oven must be properly
connected to the proper gas supply
and checked for leaks. The oven
must aLso be properly connected to
electrical supply and grounded.

2. Gas fuels and their use in
appliances can cause minor
exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide
and soot, primarily from
incomplete combustion. Significant
exposure to these substances can
cause cancer or reproductive harm.
Properly adjusted burners with a
blue, rather than a yellow, flame
will minimize incomplete
combustion. Venting with a hood
or an open window will further
minimize exposure.

3. Do not operate the oven if it is not
